And when the content of these verses is the same as the content of the three verses with which the surah that demolishes the doctrine of dualism begins, and they are the people of Persia, the descendants of Ibrahim - blessings and peace be upon him - and Ibrahim - blessings and peace be upon him - was known for his virtue among all sects; because most of them are from his lineage, like the Jews, Christians, and the polytheists among the Arabs, and the Muslims due to what they know of his sincerity to Allah, glorified and exalted is He, and his standing up to argue with those who associated partners with Him and his endurance of harm in that - glorified and exalted is He - he followed it with his argument against them that invalidated their doctrine and refuted their claims. He said: "And when" meaning: mention all of that which has preceded to them in the evidence of our uniqueness in creation and the completeness of power. How great it is, how noble it is, and how immense it is! And reflect on its wonders and contemplate its subtleties and strangeness, you will find what only Allah can do. And mention when "Ibrahim said" meaning: mention his words, and the wisdom of the reminder at its time is to alert that this has always been firmly established on the tongues of all the prophets throughout all ages. And in this argument, there is a clear statement of what was hinted at in the beginning of this surah regarding the invalidation of this doctrine, and this is connected to that in a significant way! It is as if it was said: Then those who disbelieved in their Lord equate Him with idols, stars, light, and darkness. So alert them, O Messenger of Allah, to that by stating that there is no one who has control except us. Mention to them that I am the one who created them and created all that they see of jewels and qualities. If they become aware, then that is their share; otherwise, mention to them the argument of our friend Ibrahim - blessings and peace be upon him - when he said to his father. Then he clarified it in the reading of al-Jar by saying: "Azar" and called him in the reading of Ya'qub with the vowel on the letter; Al-Bukhari said in his (Great History): Ibrahim son of Azar, and in the Torah, it is: Tarakh. Ended.

And that has been mentioned from the Torah in Al-Baqarah, so perhaps one of them is a title. And the people of that land, who are the Chaldeans, are also called the Kasdanians - with the omission of the place of the letter 'lam' - they believe in the divinity of the stars in the sky and the idols on the earth, and they make for every star an idol. When they want to draw closer to that star, they worship that idol to intercede for them - as they claim - to the star. So he - blessings and peace be upon him - said to his father, denying him and alerting him to the evident corruption of what he is committing: "Do you take" meaning: do you compel yourself to go against what the original nature calls you to by making "idols gods" meaning: to worship them and submit to them, and there is no benefit in them nor harm. He alerted him with this denial that the knowledge of the invalidity of what he is adhering to does not require much contemplation; rather, it is an evident matter or close to it. For they engage in it with all their aspects and know that they are created and not creators, and their abundance indicates the invalidity of their divinity, as indicated by His saying, glorified and exalted is He: "If there were in them gods other than Allah, they would have certainly been corrupted." [Al-Anbiya: 22]

And when he specifically advised those closest to him, he addressed the rest of his relatives and said: "Indeed, I see you and your people"; meaning, in your agreement on this "in misguidance"; meaning, distance from the straight path "clear"; meaning, very evident to the innate understanding, along with its contradiction to every prophet whom Allah, the Exalted, has sent, from Adam - peace be upon him - and those after him. Thus, it is evident in itself that the truth is that the deity can only be sufficient for those who worship Him, otherwise, He would be in need of the divinity of one who suffices Him.
